Delhi Excise Policy Case : Supreme Court Deletes Bail Condition Requiring Manish Sisodia To Appear Before CBI & ED Twice A Week

The Supreme Court has allowed Manish Sisodia to be released from his bail condition of appearing before the investigating officer twice a week in the Delhi Excise Policy case. The Court ruled that the condition was unnecessarily restrictive and could be modified. This decision provides relief to Sisodia, who had been facing the burden of reporting frequently to the investigating officer. The Court’s ruling underscores the principle of proportionality in bail conditions, ensuring that they are not excessively onerous or punitive. The decision offers clarity on how bail conditions should be applied in a reasonable manner, particularly in complex cases, and reinforces the judiciary's role in balancing the rights of the accused with the demands of the investigation.
